Different animals, a forest doe, aquarium fish, stray dogs, house cats, ostriches and hens, and different people, an old émigré, a former soldier, a girl from Chernihiv, a man from Kyiv, a young mother from Kharkiv, an American journalist, are united one morning by a shared war, sudden and merciless. Yet the stories are less about the war than about the bonds between generations, daring escapes, impossible rescues and fateful meetings: about people who ran into the unknown but did not abandon those who needed help.
